Then after the anti-Trump Manhattan project, they have a few firecrackers to attack Hillary or Bernie.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Fizzle.

National Review likes to hire freaks; this guy is from England and thinks he should lecture all us rubes on how to handle things, because things back home are being handled so well.

Because it has been imperfect, the GOP must be destroyed.

About sums it up. Apparently this message is hard to understand? Comes from decades of stabbing voters in the back. Uniparty hunting season is open.

The buyers aren’t used to having to deal with a rooster. They’re used to fat capons, geldings, sycophants fisting their foreheads when they get their marching orders. Trump is driving them nuts.

“.......the conservative military historian Max Boot tweeted: “Trump is a fascist. And that’s not a term I use loosely or often. But he’s earned it.”.......”

Have you read this one...

This catastrophic alarmism is predicated on the assumption that a Trump victory would be accompanied by a loss of Congress. That new Congress, convening before the inauguration, would work with the last few days of the Obama regime to pass a horde of bills cementing Obama's agenda into law and cramming the courts with totalitarian ideologues.

I doubt it would happen this way, but the NR people seem traumatized by the mere thought of Trump winning.

a well-telegraphed attempt to burn down the whole political edifice and reconstruct it from scratch

Burn, baby, burn!

At first it seemed like National Review had become Salon and then I realized how they all play a role in the Uniparty. They are all defending their elitist turf.

Tomorrow night, as they stand on either side of Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz must find their resolve and all-but-machine-gun the man to the floor.

Machine-gun the man to the floor? Excuse me, for a moment there I thought I was reading a serious, adult magazine, not the wilder fantasies of some sophomore Ivy League journalism major. "Ted Cruz, save us!" Uh...why?

The candidacy they are likely to get from Cruz is, after all, hardly the manning of the barricades to guard Reince Priebus's cocktail parties to buy time for them to groom a replacement more suitable than Cruz. I wouldn't do it if I were Cruz and I wouldn't advise him to do it. For what? They can't offer him the Presidency because as it has become painfully clear, they don't have a clue how to get it. Cruz needs better allies than the ones who thought Yeb! was a good idea.

Guys, it's a done deal. The only hope the current DC establishment has of hanging onto power is a crooked sot named Hillary Clinton. They deserve one another.

..... My main concern with Mr. Trump as a "Conservative" candidate .... is that he changed a lot of his platform stances much too recently, just before or right after his meeting with the Clinton's ..... That kinda scares me.

..... Heck ..... I have to wonder .... Is he the socialist fail-safe .... the proverbial placeholder to maintain a status-quo for 4-8 years until another socialist liberal takes back the reins? Like it or not .... this is a legitimate nagging concern.

..... Mr. Trump was/is a little bit too buddy, buddy with the Clinonista Family for my liking. For Pete's sake .... he was almost willing to do anything to have them attend his wedding. So now he is going to prosecute the arse outta Hillary?

.... My gut instinct is telling me there are way too many red flags with this guy.

What a histrionic, melodramatic, unbalanced, shrill, and demented article ;)

Has anyone counted how many hit pieces on Trump have been posted today? It seems like every third or fourth story is something about what a dastardly bastard he is.
I noticed they all seem to be coming from the left (GOPE), the far left (Democrat mainstream) and the tinfoil hat left (Ed Schultz types).

In this mistaken view, the conservative movement's failure to counter all of the Obama era's excesses is not the product of the crucial democratic and structural factors that prevent any one faction from ushering in substantial change, but of a lack of will or desire.

Enough with the lies.

It didn't stop Obama.

WTF???

Exactly right.

The piece is hysterical, incoherent, conceited, and its writer is unhinged. It's the epitome of the disconnect which is occurring.

These idiots actually think they're wiser and smarter than the conservative "unwashed masses". They actually think they are the ones who should determine the parameters of true conservatism, and "guide" us to make the right choice.

This election year is going to be both fun and exhilarating...
